The Iron Dames have set their lineup for January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, with Silver-rated Karen Gaillard set for her first appearance as part of the squad’s main lineup.

Gaillard is set to share the No. 83 Porsche 911 GT3 R with team regulars Sarah Bovy, Michelle Gatting and Rahel Frey, who formed the team’s core crew in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, FIA World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series this past season.

It will also mark Bovy’s first appearance with the Iron Dames as a Silver-rated driver, following on from the confirmation that she will not form part of the team’s WEC LMGT3 lineup next year.

Gaillard, who raced with the team in Michelin Le Mans Cup this year, will make her Daytona debut while Gatting, Frey and Bovy will return with Iron Dames after back-to-back appearances with Lamborghini in 2023 and 2024.

Along with Frey, Gaillard piloted the No. 83 Porsche during the recent IMSA-sanctioned test at Daytona International Speedway.
